A FIRST Championship to remember!

Thanks to our AMAAAAZING alliance partners Team 4414, Team 1323 and Team 4065 we became FIRST Robotics Competition World Champions this weekend at the FIRST Championship in Houston. It was wonderful to work with them!

We were also excited to high five Team 6352 into the Hall of Fame with their Inspire Award win! We even got to trade ears and bows with them. 🐮 🎀

Also big thanks to our passionate, brilliant and patient mentors and the wonderfully supportive parents who helped curb the chaos and ensured we were well fed.

And of course ENDLESS appreciation to these sponsors who made it possible for us to show up at our best this season to 2 District Events, the SoCal District Championship and to this memorable FIRST Championship:

It was a whirlwind of a weekend at the Ventura Regional!

We finished as the 3rd place alliance alongside Spartatronik Team 3512 and Circuit Serpeants Team 6060 (you guys rocked) and were honored to receive the Sustainability Award!

It also felt great to be back applying for the Impact Award. Huge congratulations to FIRST Robotics Team 589: Falkon Robotics for winning it at the Ventura. They’re doing some truly great things.

Another highlight was getting interviewed FUN Robotics Network!

We loved getting to meet other teams, make new friends and share our cow ears.

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who made the event possible. We see how hard you all work to make these competitions happen, and we truly appreciate everything you do.

And of course a giant round of applause for all our mentors. You are an inspiration.

Has your team started planning for Chairman’s yet? It’s a great time to begin planning.

Just like building a robot, assembling a Chairman’s Award submission is a lot easier when you have a plan. Now’s a good time to get started!

The Holy Cows have just launched into a new project as part of this seasons competition, the Innovation Challenge. The goal for this year is to identify a problem or opportunity and design a solution to help people (or a community of people) keep, regain, or achieve optimum physical and/or mental health and fitness through active play or movement. In our efforts to find a problem and solution, we are surveying our community to get some helpful insight.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete this quick survey.
